Palmer shot a 34-35 over the par 36-35 Muirfield links for a three-round total of 215, two over par. SANDERS, THE dapper American pro who lost this tournament to Tony Jacklin in a playoff in 1969, was four under par after 46 holes.

He had started the day at 142, one stroke back of leaders Lee Trevino and Jacklin. Trevino, the defending champion, remained at one under par after 44 holes while Jacklin had moved to three under par and one stroke back of Sanders after 44 holes. The State Journal, Friday, July 14, Jack Nicklaus, the favorite to add this title to his victories in the Masters and U.S. Open, began the third round at 142 and was still at even par after 45 holes. PALMER STARTED out the third round as though he was going to tear apart the SHEARER, AUSTRALIAN amateur champion in 1969, said he came to Britain "to learn the game." He certainly packed plenty of experience into today's round which included six birdies, an eagle three, three bogeys and a double-bogey.

The eagle came at the 542-yard 17th where Shearer had nothing but trouble. His drive finished tucked into the bank of a sand-trap and after a reckless recovery attempt put him into the rough, the Aussie SECOND ROUND SCORES, PG. C-3 knocked a five-iron 190 yards into the cup. Shearer knocked in a 12-footer for his birdie at the first and after a bogey at the second, where he accidentally moved his ball when preparing to putt, hit a great sand wedge four feet from the hole and sank it for a birdie. HE FOUND disaster at the part-three 7th, taking a five after struggling in two sand traps, but reached the long ninth in two to set up another birdie.

After dropping a shot at the 11th, Shearer racked up three birdies in a row with a 6-footer at the 12th, a 25-footer at the 13th and a 10-footer at the 14th. Disappointment followed his eagle at 17, for the youngster missed a par putt from 43 feet on the home green after blasting out brilliantly from a greenside trap, but his inward 32 was the best of the tournament to date. I JIM MURRAY TV Convention Work Stinko Defending Champ Happy Lee Trevino, who is defending his British Open golf championship, enjoys a light moment with the spectators Thursday at Muirfield, Scotland. Lee has a good reason to be happy as he roared back after two early bogeys to fire a 70 and share the 36-hole lead with England's Tony Jacklin. 1972 made the turn in 34.

On the back nine he bogeyed the par 3 13th and birdied the par 5 17th to come home in even-par 35. THE WEATHER was warm and golfing conditions were fine for the third round, and the early scores seemed to reflect this. UPI Photo Allows 2 Hits ReggileClevelandof the St. Louis Cardinals hurled his seventh straight victory Thursday night when he stopped Atlanta on two hits for a 2-0 decision. He now is 11-4.

Cleveland also drove in one of the Cards' runs. Sweep Eedlegs After watching the Democratic National Convention on TV, I will never complain about sports telecasts again. You talk about Graham McNamee describing the sunset as Harvard scores the winning goal You talk about Howard Cosell riding right over the action and ignoring the puny goings-on down on the field! You know, it's common for baseball announcers, confronted with an 11-0 game, to disguise the ennui by bringing in anecdotes of baseball's storied past to the point where you sometimes get confused as to whether you're watching the 1972 Cubs or the 1902 World Series. I have watched video tape reruns at golf tournaments of past shots till you want to call the station and say. "Wait a minute, what year is this Arnold Palmer is making those putts?" Worst of the Decade Weary Mickey Lolich Posts 15th Victory By LARRY PALADINO DETROIT (AP) Rubber arm or no rubber arm, Mickey Lolich has pitched 182 innings and he's tired.

The Tigers have played 22 consecutive games without a day off and, Lolich admits, the grind is beginning to get to him. BUT THAT doesn't mean he has lost anything. Thursday night he was in complete control, until the last inning, and became the win-ningest pitcher in the major leagues this season with 15 as the Detroit Tigers beat the Kansas City Rftyals 6-4. It was their fifth consecutive victory their longest winning Complete of Pirates yard course. The man who has won two British Opens had the huge gallery buzzing when he went birdie, par, eagle, birdie on a string of holes starting with the third.

But then the 42-year-old golfer great bogeyed the seventh and eighth holes and Follmer Replaces Donohue DETROIT (AP) George Follmer will be Mark Dono-hue's replacement for the rest of the 1972 Canadian-American road racing series. Roger Penske, a Detroit auto dealer and owner of the 12-cyl-inder Porsche that Follmer drove to victory in last Sunday's Can-Am race at Road Atlanta, made the announcement Thursday. DONOHUE, THE 1972 Indianapolis 500 winner, was injured in a practice crash in Georgia last week. He underwent surgery to repair a damaged leg in Atlanta Saturday. Doctors said he would be sidelined at least 13 weeks.

Donohue had been considered a prime favorite in Sunday's 200-mile race for United States Auto Club championship cars at Michigan International Speedway. He won the. race last year. Penske said, however, he will field only one of his two McLaren's in the race. Gary Bettenhausen will drive it.

Mase Loses At Western COLUMBUS, Ohio Bob Mase, Lansing's lone qualifier for match play in the Western Junior Golf Championship, bowed out of the competition in the first round Thursday. The East Lansing High golfer was eliminated by Steve Brewton of Pittsburgh, 5 to 3. Mase was even with Brewton after the first nine holes, and had shot one stroke better than his foe with a 41. At that point, however, Brewton suddenly got tough. He playd one-under golf for the first six holes of' the back nine, while Mase was taking four bogeys and a double bogey.

The match ended on the 15th hole, which Brewton took with a par. BREWTON THEN defeated Mark McConnell of Coshocton, Ohio, 3-2, in Thursday's second round. Brewton is paired against Mike Milligan of Bloomington, 111., in the third round. Illini Pick Coleman CHAMPAIGN, 111. (AP) The appointment of Cecil N.

Coleman, athletic director at Wichita State University, as director of intercollegiate athletics at the University of Illinois was announced today by J. W. Peltason, of I chancellor. Peltason said the appointment would be presented to the university's Board of Trustees for approval at the board's July 19 meeting. PELTASON SAID the appointment of Coleman, who was named athletic director at Wichita State after a 1970 plane crash which killed 31 persons, including WSU's athletic director, had the concurrence of John E.

Corbally university president, and the board of directors of the Big Ten school's athletic streak of the year and pushed their American League East lead to 2Y2 games over, idle Baltimore. DETROIT JUMPED on Paul Splittorff for five runs in the first inning to provide all the cushion Lolich needed. The teams were to meet again tonight, with Joe Coleman, 11-7, expected to pitch against K.C.'s Bruce Dal Canton, 4-3. Lolich, 15-6, went the distance for the 15th time and has now beaten the Royals with complete games in seven of the last eight tries. "DOES ANYBODY ever beat him?" questioned Royals Manager Bob Lemon.

Lolich, who won 25 games last year and at this point had a 14-6 record, repeated his insistence that he won't win 30 games. "It's mathematically possible, but physically it isn't," the 31-year-old, 10-y ear veteran southpaw said. "I'M JUST starting to need some rest. I'm tired. I admit it.

Lolich said he wants to pitch just as often as he has, but he doesn't want to do much in between particularly "Some coaches believe that the day after you pitch you should run to get out the stiffness," he said. "I don't want to run, I want to rest.

Usually I run a lot between starts up the to All-Star break, then I don't do as much." "I'D HAVE to ask permission, but that doesn't mean I'll have my way. I don't run the club." Aurelio Rodriguez doubled leading off the Tiger first. Bill Freehan walked, then Willie Horton lined a single off southpaw Splittorff 's right shoulder for a run. Paul Jata walked to load the bases and Norm Cash delivered a sacrifice fly. Then Ike Brown reloaded the bases with a walk and Ed Brinkman singled up the middle to score two runs.

Al Fitzmorris relieved and threw a wild pitch to Lolich, scoring Brown. Brinkman's squeeze bunt produced the Detroit run in the third after Brown doubled and stole third.

Season played at Grand Rapids last year and in Detroit." Drahnak expects Hogarth, Holt High All-Stater who set a Ferris State rushing record as a freshman a year ago, to start at running back against the Caps. TWO OTHER definite newcomers slated to definitely start in the MFL home opener are: Center Steve Lundeen, 6-foot-3 250-pound former Uni- See ALL STARS, Col. 1 PETE YELORDA Promising Cornerback By KEN RAPPOPORT Associated Press Sports Writer Pittsburgh manager Bill Virdon spent a week in Cincinnati Thursday night.

It no doubt seemed that way after the Reds beat his Pirates 2-0 and swept a three-game series of National League division leaders. "THE SWEEP was just one of those things," said Virdon. "You don't expect them but they happen sometimes in baseball." It happened to the Pirates because they just weren't themselves. The normally heavy-hitting East leaders manufactured a paltry total of three runs in the series. But the West-leading Reds had their usual proficiency at the plate, and also killed Pittsburgh with seven double plays in the series, including one Thursday night that helped Gary Nolan pick up his 13th victory of the year.

IN THE other National League games, the St. Louis Cardinals topped the Atlanta Braves 2-0 and the Houston Astros defeated the Chicago Cubs 7-2. In American League action, the Minnesota Twins belted the Boston Red Sox 10-0; the Texas Rangers whipped the Cleveland Indians 5-0 and the Detroit Tigers turned back the Kansas City Royals 6-4. Nolan allowed three Pittsburgh hits in the first two innings, but settled down to hold the Pirates off before Clay Carroll came in to pitch the ninth for Cincinnati. Cesar Gerinomo stroked three hits, including a home run in the fifth off Pitts-burgh starter Steve Blaas.

The Reds scored an insurance run in the eighth on Bobby Tolan's sacrifice fly. REGGIE CLEVELAND mastered Atlanta on two hits and drove in a run to pace St. Louis' victory. Cleveland won his 11th game in 15 decisions and enhanced his winning string to seven games. Cleveland was reached for a single by Rico Carty starting Atlanta's second inning and touched for another base hit by opposing pitcher Ron Reed in the third.

Home runs by Tommy Helms and Norm Miller in the ninth inning produced five runs that broke a 2-2 tie and powered Houston past Chicago. HELMS FIRST crashed a three-run shot off Cub ace Ferguson Jenkins, then Miller delivered a two-run job off reliever Dan McGinn. Ray Corbin stopped the hot Boston Red Sox with a six-hitter and Rich Reese ripped a three-run homer and Eric Soderholm a two-run shot in Minnesota's romp. HAL KING'S two-run double capped a four-run first inning and Rich Hand pitched a sixhitter, leading Texas over Cleveland. But the conventioneer broadcasters take the Ymmes (reverse Emmy's) for telecasting irrele-vancies and non-sequiturs of the decade.

If they were doing the Battle of Stalingrad, they'd cut to two shepherds in Somaliland for their view of it. During one super-important roll-call, the first real action of the night, by the way, they resolutely trained their cameraj on roving reporters interviewing ward-heelers from South Chicago or alternates from the Canal Zone with l-10th of a vote. The house is polling on whether to throw out the chairman and the convention itself, and they're interviewing a garbage collector from Peoria on what he thinks of it. They don't even keep score! They cut to a fat announcer standing outside the door (or the lobby) of the candidate's suite with the breathtaking announcement that the candidate is just taking his shoes off and is drinking coffee. Votes are the only drama of political conventions, but they are drowned out or rather whispered out by David Brmkley who sounds like a guy talking to a companion hiding in the cellar of an enemy farmhouse.

A guy is on the podium screaming like Hitler stepping on a thumbtack, and we get a shot of some delegate yawning. Frightening Thought If sports did this, we would have something like the following: 1. As Jack Nicklaus is standing over a 7-foot putt which would give him the National Open, and just as he addresses the ball and strikes it, we would cut to Douglas Cipher, interviewing his caddy on the side of the green. "Tell me, Hot Shot, do you think this putt will go?" Hot Shot: "It just did." "Thank you, Hot Shot, and now, back to the booth." 2. As the horses are in the gate and the barrier sprung at the Kentucky Derby, we cut away to an interview with the groom of the favorite back in the stable area.

As the excited sounds of the track announcer calling the race come unintellig-bly overhead, he is asked by some blonde dame wearing antennae, how he puts on a shadow roll or front bandages or blinkers and whether he thinks it will help his entry. Groom (sadly): "I guess not, he hasn't got a call yet, and that guy on the loudspeaker is saying -'Please hold all tickets cn Nos. 5, 7 and My horse was 12. There's a rumor he bolted into the crowd, but of course TV wouldn't be interested in that." Now, Mrs. Gabriel 3.

The Rams have the ball on the 2-yard-line in the Super Bowl, 4th-and-goal, one minute to play, and we go to the remote crew outside the apartment door of the quarterbacks wife where a reporter will get her on the house phone to ask whether she thinks her husband should try a place-kick or a pass "I don't know," she will say. "What IS the situation: I've been watching on TV, Have they kicked off yet?" 4. Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier are fighting, and, suddenly, as the camera pans the crowd looking for Doris Day or Dennis Day there's a thud, and, over the audio, comes the shout, "He's down," and the announcer says, "Now, up to the balcony and Garrish Utter for an interview with the janitor." There follows a shot of Garish Utter perpsiring, shoving a mike under the nose of a guy wearing a hard hat, and lipping snuff. "Who do you think will win it, Paddy?" Paddy: "I dunno, but would you please ask the people to stop throwing chewing gum on the floor? I haven't seen this much chewing gum since Dempsey-Firpo." TV treats the convention as though it were a spring training game in Podunk. Which, maybe, it is.

Two computers in Burbank already know who won the election. But when the decisive votes are coming through, TV will cut to an interview with Alf Landon.

Blazitz led the MFL last year as the top wide receiver with eight TD passes and 42 catches. Drahnak plans to utilize Ras-mussen's ability to throw a football with accuracy to a great extent.

"Rasmussen's passing could make our running game that much more effective," Drahnak said, and MICKEY- BLAZITZ Top Wide Receiver we'd be foolish not to take advantage of his ability. DRAHNAK HAS also been enthused with the turnouts by the players at the workouts. "With the exception of a couple of spots in the line we have excellent depth at most positions," Drahnak said. "We have quite a good group of ball carriers, and we're exceptionally strong at linebackers and in the defensive back-field." JOHN HOGARTH Starter from Holt 1L DURING DRILLS Drahnak had Gordie Hetrick and Rasmussen working at quarterback with Jim West and John Hogarth as one backfield twosome, Tom Eifert and Mitch Pruiett as another and Ken Hines and Kermit Smith as a third.

Tom Drahnak, defensive coordinator of the All Stars the last four seasons, makes his debut as head coach when he sends his All, Stars into action at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Sexton High's Memorial Stadium against new MFL entry Indianapolis, Caps. THE CAPS opened their season last week hanging on for a 19-13 sudden death decision over the Flint Sabres. Ed Dubaj, Drahnak's top offense coach, who turned down the Flint head coaching post, said, "We have quality players and with the addition of Michigan State's Mike Rasmussen we could have the best passer in the league." That statement makes All Star wide receiver Mickey Bla-zitz quite happy.
